4 times twice on one track, next pull is the 30th and 31st so we'll see what happens, need to make ladder bars first thou

Yeah Bars help a lot

Can you hang weight? Might want to fab up a rack and start hangin

My first hook is the 27th of June on a junk track just a little po dunk pull, only 2 mod diesels showed up last year so they ran us in the mod gas class (600-700 hp trucks)

This was one of the gasser trucks we pulled against(Not the actual hook from that pull)

So really not much at all. Do you build boost before you take off, or do you really just leave the line like you're pulling a trailer?

I'm thinking about doing a couple pulls, maybe this year but I don't want to smoke the clutch, but i'd also like to actually get the sled moving. haha

You can't come out of the hole like the pro pullers do. You gotta pick a gear that lets you get moving without a lot of slip. If you don't get them hot they hold very well.

I was thinking you wouldn't want to do that anyways with the getrag and the small input shaft.

just like pulling a trailer, well almost i take off harder on the street with a trailer that i have sled pulling. and i do not do boosted take offs,
2nd lo worked fine for my first 12.25 stock replacement clutch for a while, i think the normal towing i do killed it.

Are you going to make me ask about your intake?

Looks awesome!!!!

So did you make a .dxf file from autocad or some sort of machine code? Are you using the cnc for the bolt holes also? Does it make small holes nice? At my old work we had a pretty old cnc plasma and it sucked for small holes, they just didn't take care of it at all

I was looking at the intake last night, while swapping injectors, and what are you going to do for the injector line holders? As it looks like if you move the one intake forward it may interfere with the injector holders for the front 3 cylinders. Maybe not?

Any chance you would make some of those plates to sell? How think are you making the plate, mild steel or ???
